Republicans reject funding for Wisconsin Supreme Court security
Republican state lawmakers have rejected a plan that would have created a new security force for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, arguing other police who protect the state Capitol can handle the job on their own.
The decision marks the second session in a row the Republican-led Joint Finance Committee has declined the court’s request for added security, despite warnings that threats against judges are on the rise.
The latest request was endorsed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, whose budget would have spent around $1 million annually to create a security force known as the Office of the Marshals of the Supreme Court. The office would have been staffed by 10 people, including eight law enforcement officers with statewide jurisdiction.
Democratic lawmakers spoke in favor of the proposal during a Tuesday committee vote, with Sen. Kelda Roys, D-Madison, arguing it was a small price to pay.
